Chapter 34: You are really stingy

Chapter 34 You are really stingy

Five minutes later, they came to a restaurant. Li Xinzhu was stunned when he saw the name of this restaurant.

“King crab patties, this is a burger, fast food?”

“Well, I found it after looking for it for a long time. King crab? You chose it. Let’s try it. Many people gave this store high marks.”

“No, I want king crab, not a hamburger.”

"Let's go, I'm already here. I'm hungry and I want to go in and have a look." Wang An couldn't help but drag Li Xinzhu inside.

The two people entered the store and looked around. It was a small store with more than a dozen tables, which were relatively clean. They chose a seat by the window and sat down.

“You two, would you like something to eat.” The waiter was very enthusiastic.

“King crab burgers, come and try four.”

“Okay, please wait a moment.” The waiter said with a smile.

“Wait a minute, is there really king crab in your burger?” Li Xinzhu asked unwillingly.

“A little more or less.” The waiter said with a smile, “But you also know how expensive this king crab is, so the portion is a little small.”

“How much is that point?” Li Xinzhu asked next.

“You’ll know after you try it.”

After a while, four burgers were served. They looked quite big, twice the size of burgers in ordinary fast food restaurants. Li Xinzhu picked it up and looked left and right.

“Isn’t this just an ordinary beef burger?”

“There is king crab in it.” The waiter said with a smile.

Li Xinzhu took a bite.

“Well, the beef tastes pretty good, but I can’t taste the king crab at all.”

“Try it carefully again.”

“Yes, I can taste it.” Wang An took a bite and nodded.

“You can taste it! Wang An, I really didn’t expect you to be so picky!” Li Xinzhu sighed and took a big bite of the burger.

“I didn’t expect that you would be so obsessed with this thing. You must have been clamped to death by it in your last life, right?” Wang An joked with a smile.

“To be honest, I haven’t eaten this kind of fast food for a long time, so I’ll make an exception for you today.”

“You made an exception for me, waiter, please give me five more.”

“Five, have you eaten?”

“If you can’t eat it, I’ll pack it up!” Li Xinzhu said angrily. Wang An smiled after hearing this.

“I’ll treat you to a nice meal from now on. I don’t have much money recently. How much does your car cost?”

"What are you doing? You won't pay attention to my car, will you?" Li Xinzhu looked at Wang An with vigilant eyes.

“I also want to buy a car.”

“You just said you didn’t have enough money, and now you say you want to buy a car?”

“Because I want to buy a car, I don’t have much money, is there anything wrong with me?”

Li Xinzhu took a deep breath, took two more bites of the burger, and shouted again, "The waiter is bringing two cups of the most expensive milk tea."

“At what price are you going to buy a car?”

“It can’t be too expensive, and it can’t be too cheap. It’s best to have some dignity when driving out.” Wang An said after taking a bite of the burger.

“Face, I can’t tell, do you still care about this?” Li Xinzhu said in surprise.

“It’s not for me, it’s for my family. I can just walk or ride a bicycle.” Wang An said with a smile.

“If it’s for the sake of face, the more expensive the better. If you don’t have much money, then it’s enough to spend around a hundred thousand to buy one. A few hundred thousand will buy you face, tsk tsk?

“You don’t understand, people don’t live just for themselves.” Wang An swallowed a hamburger in just a few bites.

"I don't understand. I am a decent person, but not in this way."

In less than twenty minutes, Li Xinzhu had eaten four burgers, and Wang An, who was sitting opposite him, stopped after eating nine. The two of them had eaten thirteen in total.

The waiter was very frightened. It was the first time he saw such delicious food.

"Good guy, I ate nine burgers at one time, and my stomach didn't change at all. Where did all the food that I ate go?" The waiter secretly stared at Wang An's stomach again and again.

“It’s okay to eat fast food once in a while, but not often.”

“Well, it tastes pretty good.” Li Xinzhu took a sip of milk tea. "But this is not a true king crab."

“What’s next? What are the plans?”

“Look at the car, and if you have time, go and pray to Buddha.”

Zhao Zhiyuan has other things to do in the afternoon and will not teach again. Wang An wants to take a look at the car. If he has enough time, he can go to the temples near Hu'an City to see the conditions or inspiration for learning "Vajra Zen".

“No, you want to ask Bodhisattva for blessings when buying a car. Isn’t your money clean?”

“Your brain circuit is indeed a bit strange. You went to worship Buddha because you want to chat with the master in the temple. Let’s go.”

“If you really want to buy a car, I have a friend who works in a 4S store. Can I take you to have a look?”

“I still need to treat you to dinner?”

“That’s what you said, friend, a meal won’t make you bankrupt.”

Li Xinzhu then drove Wang An to the car sales market in Hu'an City and found a friend there.

Under the guidance of the other party, I looked at several cars, test drove two of them, and asked about the base price. Then I went to other 4S stores and looked at several cars with similar prices.

Compared with my current savings, I probably have an idea.

 In the past few years of working, he has saved more than 200,000 through frugality. Recently, he has been able to spend tens of thousands out without spending money.

If you buy another similar car, all your savings will be used up.

“I have to find a way to make money.” Wang An thought.

Sitting in the car, Wang An stared outside the car, thinking about ways to make money.

“What are you thinking about?”

“I want money.” Wang An said with a smile.

“You can come to our martial arts gym to be a coach.” Li Xinzhu said after being silent for a moment.

“Where’s the salary?”

“Four thousand a month, no insurance, no housing provident fund, no food, no housing, no weekends, can ask for leave when necessary, relatively free.”

“Thank you, I’ll think about it again.”

Given his current situation, he still has to go to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic to learn massage and practice Qigong, so his schedule is full throughout the day. There is no way to go to a martial arts gym to be a trainer.

“Stop in front, I’ll get off.”

“Aren’t you going to worship Buddha? Let’s go together. I have nothing urgent to do anyway.”

“Okay, let’s go to Songlin Temple first.”

“Okay, I heard that the vegetarian food there is very famous, so I just want to try it.” Li Xinzhu said with a smile.

He drove out of the city and came to the suburbs.

On the outskirts of Hu'an City, there is a mountain not far from Qingyang Mountain. The mountain is covered with evergreen pine trees. There is a temple in the mountain called Songlin Temple, which has a history of more than 200 years.

The two people parked their car halfway up the mountain and walked up the mountain.

When I arrived at the gate of the temple, I was stopped by a monk.

To enter the temple to worship Buddha, you must first take money to buy a ticket.
